currency — Formatting currencies

Overview

currency is a LaTeX package that facilitates the formatting of currencies (amounts and units). It is based on the siunitx package for printing numbers.

For instance, this code in the preamble defines a EUR monetary unit

\DefineCurrency{EUR}{name={euro},plural={euros},symbol={\euro},iso={EUR},kind=iso,base=2}

that will be used later by

\dEUR{123} or \dEUR[kind=plural]{123}

to print 123 EUR or 123 euros. There are many ways to change to output (the symbol could be put in front of the amount as required by some typographical conventions, ...).

See the documentation for examples and installation instructions.
